For Better Options, Make VETTER Choices

When it comes to rescue operations, no two lifting or stabilisation scenarios are ever the same. With over 40 years of experience in the rescue industry, PT Rescue proudly supplies VETTER airbags – trusted worldwide for their safety, reliability, and performance.

Choosing the right airbag isn’t just about lifting power – it’s about making the job safer, faster, and more effective. For this reason, VETTER  has a wide range of different Airbags, which are each designed to suit a variety of environments and challenges.

 S-Tec 12 Bar Airbags

• Best for: Rapid, powerful lifting in confined spaces
• Benefits:
  • Thin profile slides into tight gaps
  • High Pressure (12 Bar) providing maximum lifting force (up to 102 tons per airbag)
  • Quick deployment for urgent rescue or industrial use
• Typical Applications: Vehicle extrication, collapsed structures, industrial plant lifting

 C-Tec 12 Bar Connectable Airbags

• Best for: Extra lift height when one bag isn’t enough
• Benefits:
  • Unique “connectable” design allows airbags to lock together safely
  • Increased lift without compromising stability
  • Uses the same 12 bar system and accessories as S-Tec
• Typical Applications: Truck rollovers, lifting heavy machinery, large structural collapses

1 Bar Low Pressure Airbags

• Best for: Gentle, controlled lifts over larger surface areas
• Benefits:
  • Operates at only 1 bar for precise, safe control
  • Broad contact area reduces pressure points on delicate loads
  • Stable lifting of heavy or uneven objects
• Typical Applications: Aircraft recovery, delicate machinery, stabilisation in rescue

Accessories
VETTER airbags are supported by a range of high-quality hoses, controllers, shutoff valves and regulators.

In addition, cribbing should always be considered alongside airbags in every lifting application. Our range of Turtle Plastic Cribbing provides safe, reliable, rated, and environmentally friendly support to ensure safety of all personnel at the rescue scene.
